    One of the greatest radio bits of all time.
    Is that last caller real, or is it just another part of the joke?

      Real most likely.

      Mischke used to be on late night so he would get some odd calls.

      He's one of the greatest radio personalities that have ever lived.

          For the record, the lead up to the interview is absolutely fantastic if you listened to Mischke for a while. He had a great relationship with his listeners and grew many lasting friendships with his regular callers.

          I really encourage people to listen to more of the shows on that page. He's very hit or miss but his hits I'll remember for the rest of my life

                Been thinking about the 40th anniversary a lot recently and today being that day it's an quite an important anniversary. I wasn't close to be alive for when it happened but it fascinates me to no end.


                Have been discussing its historical significance. In the Upper Midwest/Great Lakes Region it's definitely number two for maritime tragedies/famous shipwrecks. I'd argue number 2 most famous in North America, but that could be a stretch. Perhaps others have some thoughts on this.

                  The Andrea Doria has a strong case for #2 on the East Coast, for sure, if not the entire US.

                      FWIW, as someone who grew up in the south, I'd never even heard of it, and I could have probably listed at least 20 other shipwrecks. I can't say for sure, but this board may very well be the first place I heard of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
                      If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?

                        I can get the regionalism point... I honestly can't say that I can recall a single wreck in the Pacific off the top of my head... Just like I'm sure there are people from Seattle who have never heard of the Fitz...

                        Every maritime region has their own stories that have shaped the culture... Most of them don't get a special on The History Channel however...

                            51 people? That's it? I thought it was like a thousand. How many people do you lose on a normal cruise? 30? 40?

                              Ah, got it. Based on the wording I was thinking you meant it was #2 in terms of wrecks that have occured in the region, as opposed to #2 overall in the minds of people in the region.

                                Stating the obvious here, but Gordon Lightfoot had a lot to do with the Edmund Fitzgerald achieving country-wide fame. Without the song, most people, even in the GL region, would have no memory of it.
